Somewhere, sometime in the past I have seen a performer use a high-power blow-dryer to pull toilet paper off a free spinning roll held in his hand (using something like a ball-bearing paint roller) and keep it all aloft as a huge loose ball of slowly turning toilet paper. As I remember, he emptied an entire roll. I believe that this was performed by a juggler or two, Raspini Brothers or Passing Zone maybe. Hard to believe that I can't find a youtube clip of this spectacular feat. I am getting old though and the whole thing might be a figment of my imagination. Any help will be much appreciated. geezer
You are probably thinking of the clown gag that was invented by Jeff Gordon(sp?)
where you use a leafblower to shoot a stream of toilet paper in the air as it unrolls from the roll. The Raspyni Brothers never performed that stunt, and to the best of my knowledge neither did the Passing Zone, and neither should you unless you can change or improve upon the original idea.
